There are bad Chinese buffets and then there are BAD Chinese buffets. New China Buffet is BAD!!! I couldn't find one edible thing available besides the snow crab legs. Usually these mediocre Chinese buffets have decent soup at least. The hot and sour soup was nasty, almost made me choke from the chili pepper seeds and sour aftertaste. The selection is so limited. What is meatloaf doing on the trays? The hibachi had some of the toughest beef I've ever eaten and there was some eggshell left in the mix, not good. I wasn't brave enough to eat the piece of tuna sushi which looked more like a slice of roast beef than anything that should be served raw. Avoid this place at all costs!!! read more

New China Buffet - Would you believe me if I told you this was tuna sushi and NOT ROAST BEEF? - Chinese Near Me - Washington, Missouri

I haven't been at this restaurant in a long time. The first time was about 8-10 years ago. I didn't like the food then. Fast forward to Oct. 23, 2023, I had a craving for fried rice. I got my styrofoam container and went to the buffet. Everything LOOKED good..... I got bbq ribs, fried rice, pepper steak, honey chicken, crab rangoon, egg roll, and lo mein. Got the meal home and ready to eat. The ribs were pretty good surprisingly. I don't usually eat pork of any kind from a Chinese restaurant but I figured I'd give it a go and I wasn't disappointed. Sauce was good and sticky so it made you lick your fingers. The pork tasted fresh, not old like other Chinese restaurants I've experienced. The meat was very tender. Pulled away from the bone nicely. The fried rice was not done. Crunch-crunch-crunch! I hate it when rice isn't cooked all the way through. Threw that away. The pepper steak was good. Some of the green peppers and onions had a good semi crunch to them. Tasty! The steak and gravy was good. I was able to cut the steak with a knife easily. Flavorful. Honey chicken.....Oh honey! Tender chicken. Not overly sweet. Great with white rice. Which I had to make because the fried rice wasn't done and it was crunchy. Tasty!! Egg roll... wasn't my cup of tea. It had a nice crunch when you bit into it but when I looked inside of it I couldn't make out what was inside of it except cabbage. The rest of the ingredients didn't look delectable. I threw it out. The crab rangoon was pretty good. It had a good crunch and the cream cheese mixture was good. But the crab rangoon didn't have a lot of the cream cheese mixture. So I felt a little jilted. ___ Last but not least the lo mein. Not much flavor in my opinion. Texture of the noodles was good. Needs more flavor for sure. A few more veggies would have been good. Just having el dente noodles ain't enough. Tasted bland. Didn't knock my socks off. Conclusion: I won't be going back to this Chinese restaurant. Yum No!! Good food? Bad food? That's the question! ‍ ~OSkoolG read more

This place is so Americanized, they should call it the Fake China Buffet. There are no Asian vegetables on the buffet and the only ones offered on the hibachi is bean sprouts and occasionally Napa cabbage. The guy that runs the hibachi is very rude. A few years ago it was okay but they have removed so many things on the buffet and keep raising the prices. So with nothing but sushi to offer as Asian style, higher prices, less offerings and bad attitudes, it's just not worth it. read more

I really wanted the buffet to be great my second time visiting but sadly it was not. The hibachi grill is nice but not a lot to choose from. Waited for the cook to come out, he did with his soda that he had to finish drinking before he was able to start cooking. 90% of the items on the buffet are fried. Vegetables are few and hard to find. My biggest take away is how did this place pass the health department visit. The booths are all ripped up, a heater or air conditioner was on the floor that was filthy. The windows are grimy. Floors had food on them. The restroom had not been cleaned in a long long time. The general restaurant was very dirty and is bad shape. read more

The staff is very nice, thus 1 star. The food gets a zero star rating. I realize there is always a danger going to a buffet outside of the rush hours. However, at 7 pm, with several patrons in the restaurant, it seemed safe. The food we had was simply terrible. I could go dish-by-dish, but I will sum up. Most of the food my wife and I had was past time to discard, cold, rubbery (seafood) or mushy (seafood), overly sweet, overly salty (not Chinese food salty, table salt salty). They should be called out for the fish that was labeled salmon. They either forgot to change the label or they are trying to pass tilapia off as salmon. And not wild caught tilapia, but the bottom feeder cleaners of other farm raised fish. I know the taste well, hate it, and will call it out. Regarding the buffet overall, my suggestion is they make smaller batches, this will help them make replacements more often, keeping the food fresh. The atmosphere was fine. Everything is out of date and worn, but in this day of trendy rustic settings, they fit right in. Give me good food, I do not care about the setting. This was not good food. read more

Good Chinese buffet, food was fresh restaurant nice and clean. Nice buffet selection. Staff were friendly and courteous. Value for money. Their sushi, sashimi and hibachi were fresh clean and yummy. No complaints and will be back read more

It was a good buffet with a large selection of items. Soups, salad, sushi and what you would expect in an American Chinese buffet. The food was consistently hot and it was busy enough that they kept replenishing the items. read more

New China Buffet - the outside of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Washington, Missouri

WORST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE EVER ATTEMPTED TO EAT!!! Everything was cold and tasted horrible. The noodles tasted like cigarettes butts, the fried rice was dry, still not sure if any of the chicken dishes were actually chicken. Restaurant is FILTHY and employees are RUDE. $17.50 for one adult is beyond ridiculous for what they are serving the public. read more

Absolutely awful. Small selection of actual Chinese food (there's pizza, and breakfast sausage, and all manner of weird stuff), but a small selection of actual Chinese food. The General Two's was actually inedible. Nothing here was good. Will never be back. read more

Been there a few times not really impressed. It's a buffet of course so Food has usually been out too long before being replaced. Sometimes they run out of the favorites. I have not tried the hibachi grill yet that maybe the best thing they have. The sushi was pretty good read more

Just left. Their All Day Sunday dinner buffet is just that. Got there at 4:10 and they were out of just about everything and what was there was cold and old. They need to have consistency. They were really good when the first opened, god bad with friend of mine getting food poisoning, and then got better again. Now they totally suck read more

Enjoyed the variety of food, good service and the ambiance is very inviting and comfortable.

I've been to this restaurant a few times and always had good service as well as GREAT food. I will definitely be back. Their food is always hot and ready to eat when you get there. Takeout orders are also super easy and great to do if you choose to do so! read more

Really sad this place has gone downhill. We used to love this place but the quality has gotten really bad. Also each time we've gone recently, there's been little to no sushi, and we've even had to ask if they were putting more out. They made like, 6 pieces, and left all the other plates on the buffet empty. I also saw them pouring a kettle of water into the meat loaf and onto the fresh salmon?? Like I was about to get some, but no one wants to eat waterlogged salmon and meat loaf. And what food is there, usually seems like its been sitting there for ages. We probably won't be back for a while, hopefully I can come back and change this review. read more

I gave this place another go after having 3 bad experiences a couple years ago. Today was no different. Cold food. Old food. Just horrible. I am not hard to please and this place is just not good. read more

We had a delicious meal plenty of variety good service and reasonable pricing we will gladly return & recommend to others

Definitely decent food for the price! Staff is always so nice & worth checking out if you're in Washington Missouri.

The food was terrible and cold never returning again. The salt and pepper shrimp was very cold.. none of the food was at safe temperature to eat. When I told the lady she just nodded her head like she didn't understand me. read more

Good experience, good selection of sea food on Saturday night. Was very busy, but didn't have to wait too long. The food trays were kept fresh and full. Would recommend. read more

Just took my family there. Food was really good, just a tad more seasoning. Sushi was good. Challenges: when we can in the server we met wasn't the most friendliest person in the world. Asked for Mountain Dew got water. No one asked about a refill the entire time. Most of the staff is awesome, it was two of the female servers who were actually Rude. 4 people 2 adults 2 teens $54.98! read more

I once gave this place a review so bad yelp or the restaurant had it removed...what can i say, it WAS horrible...WAS...no longer the case...it has reasonably fresh food, excellent service and the stuff, considering its a buffet, is really not bad...price is very good too...they have upped their game and its probably one of the better chinese buffets around, better than most in St Louis... read more

This is SO good,and the sushi was amazing! I would recommend this place for a date or family,either way it's great. I ordered the butter-covered crab and shrimp with sashimi and sushi and it tasted TO GOOD!!! When I wore my Ramen Noodle hoodie almost all the staff smiled at it! They are really nice and delicious. read more

This is the best Chinese buffet. The honey chicken is to die for. And staff is always friendly.

Foods good, until you go to the bathroom and see the guy preparing the vegetables for the salad bar take a leak and not wash his hands And apparently there is a limit to how many beverage refills you're allowed, the "waitress" just keeps walking by me and staring at my empty cup, 7 passes without a refill at the time of this review #washYOURhands read more

New China Buffet - Still empty... - Chinese Near Me - Washington, Missouri

I like this place. Fresh sushi. Fresh hibachi. All you can eat standard Chinese food, plus some American favorites like crab legs and frog legs. It is my go-to Chinese restaurant in Washington. Prices are good, seating is good, I haven't had any long waits, and the service is great. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I love this place every time I go I feel welcomed and satisfied. The service is great. If you have an empty plate it's never there long. Drinks the same always refilled instantly. The sushi and hibachi bars are both at no extra cost, and do not disappoint. The food is decent, it's the variety that is really the great part of this place. All in all a great place with great people. read more

Just a basic all you can eat americanized Chinese food type place. Basic tacky decor, slightly sticky surfaces, and somewhat monitored children. The food was hot, reasonably fresh, and in copious quantity. Quality was as expected, acceptable but not going to win any awards. Diabetes might happen though with all the sugary sauces. I'd go back if in the area again. read more

Expect standard Americanized options for a Chinese buffet. This is probably the most family/kid friendly Chinese restaurant in mid Missouri. It's very clean compared to any others around and has lots of options for children. I recommend it. read more

Well I won't go back , been a couple years I think they been open, went in eating my lunch and the guy working the Mongolian grill was looking at his phone and popping zits! I guess using his phone for a mirror. I couldn't eat anymore. Then today run across where a friend of a friend was there and had a maggots in her food on her plate! Never again. read more

The flavor of the food was great but the temperature of everything was cold. I would like it much better if my food was hot.

Amazing Chinese food really good fresh fruit and a great sushi and a lot of food to choose from off the buffet from Chinese food crab legs were pretty good so was Hibachi grill part of it I definitely will be going back here . read more

DELICIOUS. All you can eat crab legs are to die for. Sushi is a HUGE plus.

When entering the cool water fall wall will sure get your attention, however the food won't. We were greeted by the staff as we entered and asked if we wanted lunch or dinner buffet. Beyond that we couldn't understand what she said. We were seated and the staff took our reunion order. As it got closer to dinner hours I then realized what the lady said before she seated us. Did we want lunch, which includes 1 trip to the buffet and excludes dinner items (which the label later during dinner hours) or dinner which includes anything and endless trips to the buffet. The food is the normal buffet selections however much less flavorful. In fact some items had a strange flavor to them. The pricing is average Chinese buffet pricing. The staff kept the table cleared and drinks refilled. Clean inside. Overall your basic buffet, but the food was below average in flavor and the lunch/dinner switch over is just plain cheesy. A go to if you live nearby. read more

Very nice quality buffet enjoy the selection and tasty range of delights, and i appreciaye the buffet to go very much

I generally enjoy eating here; however, today the crab rangoon, the chicken on a stick, thesweet and sour chicken, and the egg rolls were cold. I told the manager and instead of apologizing, he said it was because the air conditioner was set cooler. I told him it is possible to have hot buffet food and a cold ac, but he did not agree! OMG! The implications of food being held on a cold buffet caused me to leave ! I do not want to be sick. They need to have a few sanitation classes on safe holding temperatures for food in my opinion! read more
